Use sleep command

In other words, add a Routine Activity stage that calls a custom routine you create to sleep X number of seconds.

Pass in the time to sleep as an argument to the routine so it becomes 'generic'.

Better to pass values to routine in minute and compute the counter in the routine.

A counter will consume CPU cycles.

Prefer SLEEP or NAP.

If you really need an interruptable routine, create a loop that includes a SLEEP or NAP statement.

SLEEP is in seconds (or until a particular time), NAP is in milliseconds.
